Defining Professional Negligence

Whatever the profession, individuals owe a certain duty of care to clients
who enlist their services. When this care is not provided and results
in harm to the client, negligence or malpractice may be to blame. Whether
the professional simply neglected to follow standard procedure, should
have known better, or intentionally harmed the client, they can be held
liable for damages.

When Does Legal Malpractice Occur?

One specific example of professional negligence can be seen in legal malpractice.
Legal malpractice is the term used to describe a lawyer or law firm that
has been negligent, causing harm to a client or party.

Legal malpractice could happen if an attorney or lawyer:

Missed a statute of limitations deadline

Did not name the right person or party in the lawsuit

Had a conflict of interest

Failed to vigorously or correctly represent you

Missed filing deadlines

Failed to properly advise you

Breached fiduciary duty

A breach in fiduciary duty occurs when a lawyer acts in his or her own
interest and not in the client's interest. A recent example in the
news aptly illustrates this. 70- year-old Attorney Samuel Liebman was
made the administrator of an elderly woman's estate. Instead of looking
after her best interest, he stole almost a half of a million dollars from her.

In order to prove legal malpractice, it must be shown that the lawyer failed
to work in a manner compliant with standard regulation and that the claimant
would have won the case if the lawyer had correctly handled the work.
